Maybe Californians would better appreciate the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if they no longer operated in the Golden State.
@POTUS[FONT="]: "The sanctuary city situation... The protection of these horrible criminals in California, that if we ever pulled our ICE out... in 2 months they'd be begging for us to come back. They would be begging. And you know what? I'm thinking about doing it."[/FONT]
That seemed to be President Donald Trump's message Thursday during a White House meeting. The president threatened to pull ICE agents out of California, citing state administrators' unwillingness to help federal authorities in preventing crime. Trump said if he followed through with the threat, the state “would have a crime nest like you’ve never seen in California.
"All I’d have to do is say, ‘ICE and Border Patrol, let California learn,'" the president said. Trump added that California state officials were doing a “lousy management job,” and criticized them for supposedly harboring “criminals,” the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. “Frankly, it’s a disgrace, the sanctuary city situation, the protection of these horrible criminals in California and other places,” Trump said.
MS-13, which started as a Los Angeles gang composed largely of Salvadorian immigrants,
is believed to have at least 10,000 members across 46 US states. While I applaud ICE
and their efforts, without a secured border they're just pissing in the wind.
